No Agricultural Show this year for Marine Le Pen. The president of the National Rally group in the Assembly canceled her visit scheduled for Wednesday, after injuring her leg, the National Rally said in a statement on Monday.
The unsuccessful triple candidate for the presidential election was injured at the end of last week at her home, said her entourage. “She is wearing a knee brace, incompatible with wandering the aisles of the Agricultural Show and the traditional walkabouts,” adds the same source. “In the difficult period that French farmers are experiencing, accentuated by inflation and the transmission crisis, Marine Le Pen wishes to assure them of her full support”, continued the RN in its press release, stressing that the MP for Pas- de-Calais “will address the main players in the sector in the coming weeks”.
Elisabeth Borne at the Salon this Monday
Emmanuel Macron opened the ball of political visits to Porte de Versailles on Saturday, with numerous questions, on climate change but also on the highly contested pension reform, which must continue its parliamentary course this week in the Senate.
This Monday, two days after the long stroll of the Head of State, it was Elisabeth Borne’s turn to visit the Agricultural Show. The Prime Minister began her visit with the stand dedicated to the Overseas Territories, accompanied by the Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau. She then went to several regional stands, including that of Normandy where she was elected MP last June, before having lunch with professional agricultural organizations.
Adaptation to climate change, income and inflation, energy costs but also the organic crisis, crop insurance and the problem of phytosanitary products were to be on the menu of exchanges, according to Matignon.
